Pulled Pork and Cornbread

I have fallen in love with my crockpot! I got a new one for Christmas from my dad and stepmom, a nice big 7qt one…mind you we are a household of two people but we put this to some good use. After spending two very long weeks in New Jersey I came home with a horrible cold and no energy so I decided that it would be a week of easy and/or crockpot recipes. I have been so excited to start using the crockpot and one of my new cookbooks (which I won from the lovely Shirley of GFE) “Make It Fast, Cook It Slow” by Stephanie O’Dea (A Year of Slow Cooking). Her cookbook is fantastic, over 300 recipes all in the crockpot and all gluten free. Over the holiday I had been flipping through the book trying to figure out what to make first and we decided on the Korean Ribs recipe (That recipe will be posted soon but just a quick summary of it – they were awesome!). While looking through the cookbook Bryan saw the Pulled Pork Recipe and requested that “we”, meaning I make that soon. I’m not the biggest fan of pork but I said sure, lets give it a shot. We didn’t have all the ingredients listed in the recipe but we had a very large bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce (Bryan’s favorite) so we used that instead. I have to say it came out really really good. Normally one would eat pulled pork on a nice roll but seeing as I didn’t have or didn’t make any gluten free rolls, I made some cornbread instead. I used Orgran Natural Foods Gluten Free Cornbread. This I have to say is my favorite gluten free cornbread. The taste, texture and the fact that I could use it as bread to make a sandwich is just awesome. Even Bryan, my cornbread loving non-gluten free boyfriend said it was his favorite, and he is very picky about his cornbreads.

Have you checked out Orgran’s website? All Orgran products are Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Diary Free, Egg Free, Yeast Free, GMO Free and Vegan! So if you are a family with multiple allergies, you should really check them out. I have also had the pleasure to try their Gluten Free Easy Bake Bread Mix – YUMMM. I used this bread with my favorite Boar’s Head meats and cheeses. Great texture and flavor to this bread, perfect for sandwiches and/or toast in the morning.

Pulled Pork – Slow Cooker Recipe

1 2-3 pound pork loin

1 large bottle of BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is Gluten Free!)

1/2 cup water

In a crockpot place the pork loin and between 24-30 oz of Gluten Free BBQ sauce (one large bottle) and 1/2 cup water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred with a fork…trust me this will fall apart. Mine was at this point around 5 1/2 hours but I let it cook for six.

Hi Jenny–So glad you are enjoying your new cookbook! Woohoo on the slow cooker to go with it! :-) My problem with Baby Ray’s is that old HFCS … they should just say no to using that. Sounds like a yummy meal though, Jenny!
